1 O sing with exultation,
Sing to the Lord, rejoice!
And in His congregation
Shout with triumphant voice!
For, lo, at God's right hand
Is Christ in glory seated;
With death and hell defeated,
As victor He doth stand.

2 Since Christ, our Lord, is living,
We nevermore shall die;
To God the glory giving,
We rise to Him on high;
Though chastened we may be,
And to our graves be taken,
We unto life shall waken
And live eternally.

3 Christ is the sure Foundation
The builders did reject,
But He for our salvation
Is precious and elect
And made the cornerstone
On which the Church is founded;
This marvel now is sounded,
The work of God alone.

4 To Thee, O Christ, be glory,
Who camest in His name!
Thy people sing the story
Thy praises to proclaim;
We thank Thee and adore,
O Christ, our Lord and Savior;
Thy grace and boundless favor
Stand fast forevermore.
